Cook Time: 08 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup water
Preparation:
- In medium bowl, mix together salt, baking powder, and flour.
- Mix in oil and water.
- Form dough into ball and set on lightly floured board. Pull off approximately ten golfball size bits, shape into balls, and flatten each into a pancake. Poke a hole in the center of each flattened circles.
- Fill a large frying pan with about 3/4 inch of shortening or lard. Fry the breads for a few seconds on each side so that they are golden brown.
- Set breads on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
- When warm, breads can be covered in powdered sugar, like a powdered doughnut, by placing fried bread in a bag filled with a half cup of powdered sugar. Give bag a quick shake to cover the bread with sugar and remove bread.
- These fried breads also taste great covered in your favorite jelly or jam.
- To freeze, let breads cool and bag them in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to one month.
